- It is a marking striated on the body of the cartridge case. After the combustion of gunpowder, heated gas is produced and expanded. This further resulted in the body of the cartridge expanding. Thus, it comes in contact with the wall of the chamber. The impact between the two resulted in the softer one receiving the scratches. These scratches are called chamber marks.

- This type of cartridge was invented in 1845, by a French gun maker, Louis Nicolas Auguste Flobert. The priming mixture of this kind of cartridge is in the cavity, inside and around the rim or the circumference around the base of the cartridge. This rim-fire cartridge is usually applied to caliber 22 pistols, caliber 22 revolver and caliber 22 rifle

D. Cartridge Case
A. Ammunition
- The propellant or powder charge which, when ignited by the primer flash, is converted into heated gas under high pressure and propels the bullet or shot charge through the barrel and to the target. It is sometimes called smokeless powder, ballistite, or cordite

B. Primer
C. Powder
D. Crimp
C. Powder
- It also refers to a loaded shell for rifles, muskets, carbines, shotguns, revolvers, and pistols from which a ball bullet, shot, shell, or other missile may be fired by means of gunpowder or other explosives. The term also includes ammunition/cartridge for air rifles.

B. Cartridge
- This branch of ballistics is also known as intermediate ballistics. It focuses on the projectile’s behavior From the moment it exits the muzzle of the gun until the pressure behind the projectile is equalized. The heated gas produced in the gun chamber brings a massive pressure until it reaches the muzzle end. The gases are free to go beyond the bullet and expand in all directions as it exits the barrel. This phenomenon will create a flash and massive noise beyond the gun’s muzzle.
A. Transitional Ballistics
B. Muzzle Blast
C. Muzzle Flash
D. Flash Suppressors
A. Transitional Ballistics
- These bullets are accurate and easy to see when target shooting or in competition. This is beneficial because the competition shooter can see where they are hitting and can make adjustments if needed.
A. Bonded Bullet
B. Spitzer Bullet
C. Round Nose
D. Flat Nose
D. Flat Nose
- Bollets are like full metal jacket projectiles except that they have a relatively shallow hole in the top toward the base. Looking into the hole will show the exposed material beneath the jacket. This is the preferred bullet type for self-defense ammunition because of the stopping power. The design allows for a more controlled expansion. The jacket keeps the projectile together until it hits the intended target. When the target is hit, the hole allows the bullet to mushroom easier.
A Hollow Point
B. Jacketed Hollow Point
C. Semi-Jacketed Hollow
D. Full Metal Jacket
B. Jacketed Hollow Point
- The rifle version has a lead core and a copper alloy jacket. In contrast, the handgun version has a lead ebre and an aluminum jacket Both do not contain silver but are composed of two jackets. It is designed to prevent a premature expansion of the jackets and lead while the bullet penetrates the outer muscles and bones of the body. As a result, this type of bullet will result in severe and lasting damage to the victim’s body
A. Wadcutter Bullet
B Gas Check Bullet
C. Silver Tip Bullet
D. Dumdum Bullet
C. Silver Tip Bullet
- Also referred to as armor piercing or green sip ammunition Steel core bullets have a steel rod or small stper bullet surrounded by jacketed lead or a jacketed cover directly on the steel core. The tip of the bullet is often dipped in a green paint, hence the name green tip ammunition. This is not to be confused with a green ballistic tip bullet. Steel core ammunition is usually prohibited at gun ranges due to the damaged caused by the bullet
A. Lead Bullet

- Also commonly referred to as a spire point bullet, is primarily a small arms ballistics development of the late 19th and early 20th century, driven by military desire for aerodynamic bullet designs that will give a higher degree of accuracy and kinetic efficiency, especially at extended ranges. To achieve this the projectile must minimize air
resistance in flight

24 is a type of ball ammunition. FMJ ammunition has a soft lead core encased in a harder metal. There are several advantages of FMJ. They feed better from the magazine into the chamber with less chance of a misfeed or stoppage. These bullets can also take higher velocities without bullet disfigurement. FMJ also can have deeper penetration compared to other types of ammunition.
A. Glaser Safety Slug
B. Truncated Cone Bullet
C. Full Metal Jacke
D. Soft Point
C. Full Metal Jacke
- This is a type of bullet with a core of lead covered by a jacket usually made of copper. Since it is enclosed with a harder material, it will not soften once it is exposed to the heated gas brought by the combustion of the gunpowder Thus, it will not be deformed even if it is projected by a high velocity firearm Moreover, this type of bullet protects the gun barrel from rusting since it is hard Lesser particles will be deposited inside the gun barrel after the rifling engraved on its bearing surface. This is generally used for semi-auto pistols or high velocity rifles.

- These marks are impressed on the primer resulting from the collision between the breech face and cartridge case after it is pulled back by the heated gas Since the point of the firing pin still elevates in the hole located at the center of the breech face, another contact between the primer and the said portion of the firing pin will occur. However, the mark produced is shallower than the firing pin mark
A. Shear Marks
B. Extractor Mark
C Magazine Lips Mark
D. Ejector Marks
A. Shear Marks
- The hole at the center of the base of the cartridge is designed to house the primer When a primer is Lertloved or loosened, the gas will leak through this opening. Hence, the manufacturers would design a cartridge so that the primer is precisely fitted to this hole.
